This is actually a minus minus star. So having to do some errands in the University City section of philadelphia, I decided to park on Walnut Street and take a brief stroll I stopped into one little quaint Coffee House and obtained a gorgeous fitted hat that supports the cause of oceans. Then I stepped into hello world. Three sales associates all of Caucasian ethnicity watched me walk around smell candles brows look at trinkets. Not one of them acknowledge my presence. And I think I should add that I am a black woman. I noticed that one of the associates casually eased at a an appropriate distance from me but seems to have kept her eyes on me. I am a person that loves artistry, and finding treasures. Casually walked up to one of the associates of which whom never acknowledged me, and I softly and gently at excuse me, is this a private owned store. She acknowledged that it is, and that the owner's name was Jay. I went on to say it's quite interesting, that I walked into this establishment, and by the way the items here are absolutely lovely. I also reiterated that no one acknowledged me. I went on to say I could be a secret shopper I could be someone coming here to buy Novelties for very important meeting. At this point a man came from behind some type of curtain and asked if everything was all right. So despite my whimsical tone, and very unthreatening posture, this gentleman proceeded to ask if everything was all right as if there was a problem?. So I explained to him what I had said to the other sales associate. I advise him that I'm a consumer, most consumers make a decision to patronize, and spend their money upon the first impression of entering and establishment. I also added that that makes a difference as to where you want to spend your money. I made a ripple and a very profound statement to him. And then I smiled with what I know to be a very beautiful smile and I told him all to have a lovely day and I softly shook my head and walked out. So apparently you can be technically in the hood but you're on University campus, so somehow you believe that you're Elite? Not at all you are steps away from the disenfranchised, people on low-income housing, and quite frankly the ghetto. Yet you treat African Americans as if they shouldn't enter your store. How the culture never changes for your America. If you are African-American please do not shop here and please let other articulate, educated, cultured black people know not to spend their American quote unquote currency in the store

No other stores like this around Philly. Loved it. So many gift possibilities and many wants for myself. The prices are fair. ??

By the name Hello world I was excited to visit this space unfortunately I didn't get 1 hello from what seemed to be 2 employees working. 1 was unloading boxes and the other walked passed me and didn't speak. I don't think the experience lived up to the name. I'm very disappointed especially being a New York transplant looking for fun eclectic items for my new home. I myself own a business and the first rule is say hello, acknowledge your patrons, especially because you never know who they may be. Customer service is the key. I will not be revisiting this space and will be sure to share that sentiment with my friends and associates locally. Hello :)

I have never been in this shop, but my husband passes by daily on his way to the gym. Wonderful things in the window catch his eye from time to time and I have received many lovely gift from Hello World. Some examples: beautiful vase, several gorgeous scarves, earrings, amazing sweater ponch, etc. Hope they keep on keeping on

This is such a well curated boutique! I appreciated the wittiness, uniqueness, and pragmatism of the wares, and the whole store was packed with variety such that it suits a number of different aesthetics. Amazingly, however, the store looks very put together. Everything is clean, well organized, arranged conveniently, and looks great; the staff was friendly and willing to answer questions; and the little clearance area in the back was full of great finds I had to stop myself from purchasing without needing. ?I'll certainly be back!
